Pour oil into a pan and sear both sides of the pork chop.
While the meat is being done, dice the onions, apples and garlic.
Try the sauerkraut and if it's too sour rinse it once with water then spread it onto a baking tray.
Mix the onions, apples and garlic into the sauerkraut. Sprinkle black pepper, paprika and salt on top.
Put the seared pork chop in the middle.
Put the tray into the 390°F / 200°C oven until its inner temperature reaches 145°F / 63°C. It takes about an hour but to be done depends on personal taste and it may require additional 60 minutes of roasting.
Before taking it out of the oven, roast it under the broiler for a nice golden brown color for about 15 minutes if necessary. This provides additional flavor to the dish.
